Pyra Frostbane arrives at Basgiath War College carrying a secret that could change everything.
To the rest of the Riders Quadrant, she is simply a vadet-a fierce first-year determined to survive the brutal trials of Basgiath. But the truth is far more dangerous. Pyra is Xaden Riorson's yonger suster, the last person anyone can discover. If her identity is exposed, it will cost her life-even the separatists will be after her.
Xaden has spent years protecting her by burying the truth beneath lies, keeping her existence hidden from allies and enemies alike. The fewer people who know, the safer she is.
When Pyra is assigned to the same squad as Aaric Graycastle, another rider living behind a false identity, everything becomes even more complicated. She knows exactly who he is, and he soon realizes she is hiding something just as significant. Bound by a fragile promise to protect each other's secrets, the two are forced to trust one another in a place where betrayal is often deadlier than dragons.
As deadly trials, political conspiracies, and impossible choices push them closer together, trust turns into friendship... and friendship into a love neither of them expected.
But at Basgiath, secrets never stay buried forever.
When the truth about the Secret Lady of Tyrrendor finally comes to light, Pyra and Aaric must decide what they're willing to sacrifice-for their kingdoms, for their families, and for each other.
